The Vitamin Hand-Off!

Mark, Caralina and I went to Kampala on Saturday to meet the World Help/Liberty team and 1300 lbs of the vitamins. We enjoyed visiting over a great meal with the team. Although they were exhausted after traveling over 36 hours, they were upbeat and we had an enjoyable time. The guys then helped load the van with all the boxes of vitamins.As we all left the van, Mark stayed behind to make sure everything was secure. He then remembered that he had noticed earlier in the day that the lock on one of the windows was missing. He stood by the window trying to figure out what to do when he decided to pray. He said, "God, you got these vitamins all the way here, You don't need a lock to keep these vitamins safe. Please keep them safe."

When he stopped praying, he looked down to see a small wire laying between his feet. He promptly took the wire and fixed it in the window to lock it. We serve an incredible God!

We woke up early the next morning to get to Sunday school at GSF so we could share with the kids what God had done. Stay tuned for more pictures!

Gwartneys in Uganda

When we were called to go to Good Shepherd's Fold Children's and Babies' Home in Buundo, Uganda, God confirmed in our hearts Proverbs 14:26. In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, And his children will have refuge. The Lord, with the strong confidence He gives, is the only reason we are here and have been able to stay here. We are able to find our refuge and our strength in Him. You are welcome to follow along as our family learns of His strength and confidence and are called to share that with others.
